Post Office Thief DrO Wned.
Shot While a Gang is Breaking in
to the Bound Brook Post Office.

BOUND BROOK, n. J., Feb. I0.-
Daring thieves entered the post Office
here. They were discovered by the
railroad agent and he at once opened
fire on them. One thief was shot, but
he managed to get into the Raritan
RIVER, where he jumped in, hoping to
escape by swimming to the other side.
The loss of blood weakened him greatly
and the icy waters numbed him. Wien
but few feet from the shore he sank
with despairing cry and was drown
ed. Efforts are now beng made to get
his body.
The pal Of the drowned thief made a
desperate struggle for freedom. He
fought like tiger, but was oYerpower-
ed and taken into custody. 1t is sup
posed that others were with him, but
they got away safely. Beyond doubt
the robbers were members of the same
gang who entered the Jersey City post
office few days ago, bound the watch
man and janitor and tried to rob the
safe. The town is in a terrible state of
excitement. The captured burglar was
taken to the Jail at Summerville. He
is sullen and morose, refusing to tell
who he is or give the name Of the dead
thief,

him to attend her up the street to get a nice
pair of shoes. Nice man, you know, could

CONFESSED MANY THEFTs.
The Breaker of Dozen Houses Tells
the Story of dis Thieving.

Inc Breaker OF q Dozen HOUSES 1ollS
the Story of His Thieving.
Detective Wetherhorn has arrested the
thief whose operations in many houses dur
ing the past three or four months have
caused so much uneasiness. He entered a
number of houses near the park and secured
clothes, jewelry and many other valuable
articles
His name is Henry Simmons, and he is a
tall, hideous negro, with as much boldness
aud audacity as is needed by an expert
house-breaker. He lost a bag containing
three pairs of boots and set of harness in
Frogtown the other day, and the detective
hearing of it, started out on a hunt He
found the articles and located his man.
When the thief was arrested the detective
showed him that he was known, identifying
the lost articles as the property of Darnell
g. Susong, from whom it was stolen.
Simmons then confessed with an air of
frankness that was surprising. He said
he had stolen an umbrella and an oVercoat
with a street car book in the pocket from
the house of L. Epstein, a watch and chain
from a man named Luetica, q pocketbook
with So in it from Miss Laura Miller, and
mentioned two or three other of his adven-
lures, but there he stopped and said, I've
told YOU enough. If | keep on I'll tell you
enough to send me to the penitentiary for
life, but you can bet on this, know every
nook and corner in this town; I've been in
most of the houses in it, and I've made it
lively while I've been here.n
He is now in Jail, having been sent there
by Justice Warning Russell, but he is not
trying to enliven the prison house as much
as he did the town.

The Origin of the Word Doodle"
7rom the Cincinnati Commercial.


The word ''boodlen hys gone into the
United States language. Eastern news
papers, even those of Boston, use it without
quotation marks. We believed the word
originally appeared III the Commercial
Gazette in the report of the great American
Express robbery in Cincinnati several years
ago. One Sunday afternoon a one-horse
wagon was driven up to the office on Race
street, small iron travelling safe loaded on
and taken across the river into Kentucky
and rifled. Larry Hazen, the famous old
detective, was employed by the express
company to work up the case, and he sue
ceeded in recovering most of the money.
When met by a reporter at the police
station after the lucky capture Hazen threw
up his hands in happy mood and exclaimed:
"We've got the boodlem The word was
afterward used to denote money used for
dishonest purposes in local politics, and dis
reputable politicians in the city and State
came to be known as "boodlers" and their
party as the doodle party" The word
spread in usage and is now common
throughout the country.

Cable Street Cars.

There was a rumor ahoat a few days ago
that this new street railway, which is to go
to the Central railroad wharf and through
the city, was to be run by cable, like the Chi
cago street railway. This would probably
cost more money in the start, but would
prove more profitable in the long run, as so
many more trips could be made in a day,
and parties having important business to at
tend to at the Central railroad wharf, could
get there in very little time. Just the
same at Appel & Schauls, the One Price
Clothiers; it takes you no time to get an
outfit at their establishment, as every arti-
Gle is marked in plain figures with the lowest
price to all on same, thus saving an hour or
two argument on the price, etc.
Their plan of doing business is sufficient
for those that are not judges of goods to buy
with confidence, knowing their friends do
not buy the same goods for less money, and
those that are judges are invited to cali and
inspect prices to convince themselves. Their
fall and winter stock has been received, and
are ready for inspection-l63 Congress

OVER IN CHARLESTON.
The Days Happenings in South Caro-
lina's Metropolitan City.


There seems to be an increasing demand
in Charleston for building lots. There have
recently been several large sales OF real
estate for division into lots, and the sales
are increasing.
Inspector of Phosphates E. L. Roche, OF
Charleston, in his testimony before the
South Carolina Phosphate Commission, on
Wednesday submitted a table showing the
production of phosphates in South Carolina
from 1871 to the close of 1886. For tine past
five years the figures are: 1882, 40, 1874 tons
1883, 1919, 3l9 tons: 1884, Isl, 243H tons;
| 1885, II. 676 tons: 1886, 191, 1854 tons. Up
to date in 1887 the production amounts to
about POS, 900 tons. The returns also show
that the production of the Coosaw Company
for 1886 was 90 0S7 tons out of total or
191, 1861 tons. The value of the plants in
the State Mr.. Roche estimated at about
S3, 800 600.
Charleston is having a hard time of it
with the new postal regulations. A gentle
man connected with a stationery store
wanted to send package of steel pens to
England at merchandise rates, but the
Charleston postmaster could find nothing III
the new regulations touching steel pens, and
refused to send them. The matter was
submitted to the Postoffice Department, and
a letter was received from the Superintend-
emit of the foreign mail department. stating
that as to the transmission of mail to Eng
land of steel pens, no provision had been
made for the transmission OF such articles
by mail to foreign countries, with the ex-
ception of Mexico and Jamaica, at less than
the full letter rate of postage, fully prepaid,
unless strictly sent as bona fide trade sam
pies; and that articles of merchandise, other
than bona fide trade samples, are not tran
smissible by mail to Canada, even though
fully prepaid as letters.
